Abstract
We present the case of an Alport syndrome patient whose anterior lenticonus was detected by wavefront analysis and Scheimpflug imaging technology. The patient's lenticular abnormalities were too subtle to be detected by the initial slitlamp examination. Normal corneal topography and elevation maps w...

Abstract
This study investigated the encapsulation of newt iris pigment epithelial cells (PECs), which have the ability to regenerate a lens by trans-differentiation in vivo, within a biodegradable hydrogel of oligo(poly(ethylene glycol) fumarate) crosslinked with poly(ethylene glycol)-diacry...

Abstract
Two patients developed high intraocular pressure postoperatively. The mechanism of secondary glaucoma in both patients was a prolapse of heavy silicone oil into the anterior chamber. When lying in a supine position for a prolonged period, the heavy silicone oil occluded the pupil, causing an iridole...

Abstract
Phacoemulsification with implantation of single-piece acrylic foldable intraocular lens (IOL) in a 19-year-old boy with microspherophakia, high myopia and angle closure glaucoma is described. The associated myopia and angle closure glaucoma was severely compromising the quality of life. Post-surgica...

Abstract
We describe the case of a 78-year-old highly myopic woman who had bilateral phacoemulsification with posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation. During surgery, the anterior chamber was extremely deep and the pupil was excessively dilated, consistent with lens-iris diaphragm retropulsion syndro...

Abstract
A 72-year-old woman with cataract had phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in the capsular bag with continuous curvilinear capsulorrhexis in the right eye. One day postoperatively, cortical remnants were noted between the posterior capsule and the intraocular lens optic located infe...

Abstract
Anterior capsule contraction was significantly greater with the AQ310NV and AR40e IOLs than with the other IOLs. Results indicate that cell adhesion to the IOL is an important factor in preventing anterior capsule contraction....

Abstract
The diagnosis of X-linked Alport syndrome is often difficult, but the demonstration of lenticonus and retinopathy may facilitate the diagnosis in adult patients. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic usefulness of ocular examination in children. Fourteen families with at least one af...

Abstract
I describe a technique of slitlamp needle revision in eyes with capsular block syndrome (CBS) with distention of the capsular bag and forward displacement of the intraocular lens (IOL) in the capsular bag. After topical anesthesia and povidone-iodine are applied to the eye, a 30-gauge needle is intr...

Abstract
Nine ocular (1.27%) and eight systemic (1.13%) complications occurred in 707 patients. The ocular complications included corneal abrasion (n = 2), chemosis (n = 2), lens injury (n = 1), ocular inflammation (n = 2), retinal pigment epithelial tear (n = 1) and acute vision loss (n = 1). The systemic c...

Abstract
We describe a case of progressive lenticular astigmatism in a 53-year-old man with a clear lens. The patient acquired 5 diopters of lenticular astigmatism in his right eye over an 18-month period. The visual acuity was reduced to 6/60. Following phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation,...

Abstract
The case of a 29-year-old man is reported who presented with a gradually progressive, painless decrease in vision over 10 years. Anterior segment examination with a slit lamp revealed anterior lenticonus in both eyes. The patient had previously been diagnosed with bilateral sensorineural deafness, h...

Abstract
We have developed a safe approach to phacoemulsificaiton in post-vectromized eyes. The technique, called the Healon5 sandwich, uses the viscoadaptive properties of sodium hyaluronate 2.3% (Healon5) to prevent a posterior chamber dehiscence.

Abstract
Lens capsule defects were classified into four types: Type I - complete capsule; Type II - incomplete capsule, but has enough area and tension to support two IOL haptics; Type III - incomplete capsule, is able to support only one IOL haptic and the other haptic needs a suture; Type IV - no capsule,...
